A Powerful Weapon Against Comment Spam

Comment spam has been a huge problem for bloggers since the inception of blogs, and it just doesn’t seem to go away. The worst kind, and most prolific, is automated spam that comes from bots. Well, finally there is an anti-spam plugin for WordPress that provides an effective solution, without CAPTCHA’s, challenge questions, or other inconvenience to site visitors. WP-SpamFree eliminates automated blog comment spam from bots, including trackback and pingback spam.

New Features

* Now with Enhanced Comment Blacklist option! Instead of just sending
comments to moderation as with WordPress’s default Comment Blacklist functionality, with this turned on, anything that matchs a string in the blacklist will be completely blocked. Also adds a link in the comment notification emails that will let you blacklist a commenter’s IP with one click.
* See what’s been blocked! Version 2.0 adds “Blocked Comment Logging Mode”, a temporary diagnostic mode that logs blocked comments and contact form submissions for 7 days, then turns off automatically. If you want to see what’s been blocked, or verify that everything is working, turn this on and see what WP-SpamFree is protecting your blog from.
* Added option for smaller graphic counters to display spam stats, in addition to the existing normal-sized ones.
* Added Widget for displaying spam counter. Shows small counter #1. Now you can show stats without knowing any code.

Most Antispam Plugins focus on user interaction, e.g. captcha or Math calculations to defend you against automated comment spambots. Some use JavaScript and/or Sessions, check each comment against common spam phrases or modify your comment template. NoSpamNX intend to handle automated comment-spam without these measures. It does not require JavaScript, Cookies or Sessions. It does not change your comment template in any way, given you full compatibility with other WordPress- or Browser Plugins.

NoSpamNX automaticly adds additional formfields to your comment form, invisible to the users. If a spambot fills these fields blindly (which 99.9% of all spambots do), the comment will not be saved. You can decide if you want to block these spambots, mark them as spam or put them in moderation queue. Furthermore, you can put common spam-phrases on a blacklist.

The user must no longer fill out any additional fields in the comment form, and you can focus on blogging and your readers comments!

Since Version 2.6 NoSpmaNX can use the same mechanics to protect your Registration and Login Form against automated access.
Requirements

Make sure your theme loads wp_head and comment_form according to the WordPress Codex (see http://is.gd/1lezf), otherwise NoSpamNX will not work properly!
